Chess Opening: Veresov Attack

An introduction to the Veresov Attack 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3. It features a game in which I crush a reasonably strong guest (we had drawn the game before) who only makes 2 very natural looking errors (…OO and …c4). I have ordered Nigel Davies’ book on the Veresov via Amazon. www.amazon.com I still have much to learn about this interesting opening that I never really took seriously before.

i do that opening to! nic music
sorry, i meant nice music
?? ???????? ??????? I can’t really tell your accent is Russian. I’m a chess player also, and just started making some videos. Was wondering, how do you become a “guru”? I think that’s cool.
I don’t speak Russian sorry.
You become a guru just by going to
youtube {.} com {/} my_profile
and click “Change channel type.” You don’t really get anything for doing so however.
not that good.. i give it 2/5
his example is against a weak player and the opening variations are not explained in detail..
It’s an introduction video, I can only put 11 minutes in there, not sure what you expected
06:25 If the pawn forks the black knight and bishop, I think black advances a pawn to threaten g5 bishop – swapping like for like and black remaining material up.
Well, if Black does this White will retreat the bishop, in order to ensure White gets a piece back.
This is not an endorsement of the Fork Trick though… I now know that this line is bad for White. See the comment posted by kingscrusher earlier.
very good video!
awesome
I’m really learning and at first I thought gay music but then it made me nervous lol
this opening is pretty sweet
nice win!
I love the way you play chess
plus, the way you give us so much insight into the game it gives me a lot of understanding, id love to play a game with you
do i hear chinese restaurant music in the background?
Great Video, do you know where can I learn more about this opening ???
thank you
nice win!
on 2:16 i think its modern defence, no?
by playing b3 yes you are right it is transpose on the pirc/modern defence
after d4 black play d5. then we play nc3 then black reply bf5. its making strong position so what reply for white
@krunalbiotech 3…Bf5 is one of the main moves. I’ve come to realize the 4.f3 lines are really not good for White if Black knows what he’s doing (see kingscrusher’s comment below) I started playing 4.Bxf6 over the board with good results though.
Looks somewhat like a Zukertort Colle system. I wonder, does the bishop on g5 work better? Or the fianchetto’ed bishop on b2?
The pirc defense was the first defense I ever discovered on my own. I don’t know why everyone underrates it.
I like your idea of playing the Stonewall against 3…Nbd7; I actually think that this is the best way to play a Stonewall. Black’s best defense against the Stonewall IMO is a King’s Indian-type setup, as he is often able to get in an early …e5. 2 Nc3 goads Black into …d5, which isn’t so good with the positions of Black’s knights (it is not easy to place them both on d6 and e4 and follow through with the …f6 and …e5 advance), and the dark-squared bishop is actually active.
This video convinced me to try the Veresov again, especially seeing as how I hated both of the ‘accepted’ lines after 3…Nbd7. 4 Nf3 just leads to a position for White where Black has all of the potential pawn breaks, while Tal had a strong line against 4 f3. IIRC it went …c6 5 e4 dxe4 6 fxe4 e5 7 dxe5 Qa5, when after the possible 8 exf6 Qxg5 9 fxg7 Bxg7, Black has the Bishop pair, better development, the e5 square, and a slightly drafty White king for the pawn.
@PandaAbomination I do like that Tal line for Black. Thanks for your response.
